Using Embedded Electromagnetic Signatures to Monitor and Authorize Collection of Printed Material

1. A method comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, a print task including one or more files to print onto printable media, and print task data including unique identification information of a print task owner, wherein the unique identification information includes data associated with a badge reader when the print task owner enters a common printing area and an image of the print task owner's face at a time the print task owner is granted access to the common printing area; generating, by the one or more processors, a unique electromagnetic signature for the received print task, based on the received print task data; printing, by a printing device, the one or more files onto the printable media including the generated electromagnetic signature embedded on at least a portion of the printed media; responsive to printing the one or more files onto the printable media, receiving, by the one or more processors, a first set of communication information exchanged between a radio frequency identification (RFID) badge associated with a user requesting access to a common printing area and a RFID reader associated with the common printing area configured to authorize access into the common printing area; receiving, by the one or more processors, a second set of communication information transmitted from a first computer, wherein the second set communication information is read by an electromagnetic detector of the first computer from the embedded electromagnetic signature; determining, by the one or more processors, whether an attempted collection of the printed media is performed by the print task owner, based on the first and second set of received communication information; receiving, by the one or more processors, a relative signal strength indicator (RSSI) between the electromagnetic signature and another electromagnetic detector of the common printing area; determining, by the one or more processors, whether the received RSSI is greater than a specified threshold; responsive to determining that the attempted collection of the printed media is not performed by the print task owner, transmitting, by the one or more processors, a notification to a second computer associated with the print task owner indicating an unauthorized attempted collection of the printed media; and responsive to determining that the received RSSI is less than the specified threshold, transmitting, by the one or more processors, the notification to the second computer associated with the print task owner indicating that the printed media exited the common printing area.
